Quenton Nelson states his case for being a top-5 pick in the 2018 NFL draft

If you’re looking for the most complete player in the 2018 NFL draft, you might find him in an unlikely place.

It’s rare that an interior offensive lineman is worthy of such a title, but Notre Dame guard Quenton Nelson is no mere mortal of a prospect. He’s a dominant, punishing blocker who plays with a demeanor that could understandably make his opponents question their choice of sport.

Speaking to media at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday, Nelson confidently stated his case to be among this year’s top five selections (via NewsDay’s Tom Rock):

There’s plenty of truth in Nelson’s statement, and it doesn’t take long watching his film to see he’s got the talent to be an immediate All-Pro at the next level. If Nelson does fall out of the top five, he’ll be a huge steal for whichever team lands him.
